Most people out in the real world probably would agree with you (as I do). However a lot of people who populate this board are a tad bit on the introverted side so they naturally don't feel real comfortable talking to people they don't know and havn't met yet. Which is why a lot of people on here don't like a lot of chit chat before meeting (it is something they aren't real good at nor comfortable with).
Which I can totally understand. I just posted about this in a more relevant thread actually. I think a lot of this is about personal preference and going with what you're most comfortable with. I just wanted to offer an alternative in my opinion I suppose.

You don't know this guy. If he is a great guy, you are going to scare him away if you demand he return your e-mail within an hour or two. After 5 days of communication and 3 days of e-mails, you are not in a relationship with him. Converse with your other matches. Broaden your match criteria so you get more matches. Don't focus on him too much or he will feel pressured. Complaining that he responded the e-mail on the same day is ridiculous. Get some exercise. He probably likes you too. Don't worry about it.

Many people on dating sites check out their mail once a day or even once a week. I work at my computer so it is on all day, but most people do not have a computer on or even handy most of the time.

Make allowances for different lifestyles and different approaches to online dating. And, as others have said, make initial contact with several people and meet soon after you find an interesting match.

Yeah yer being impatient. I also agree it's time to meet in person. I'd hint at it and see if he takes you out.

Just one additional thought ~ unti you are actually dating, weekend time should get more leeway as far as response time (b/c typically you would want to date somebody who does have things planned on weekends). And as everybody said ~ he responded on the same day ~ that's a pretty quick response when it comes to online stuff and dating in general.

Good luck to you.

Richey
